Enjoy my conversation with Mariann and Jasmin from Our Hen House.
In this heartfelt conversation, author Colleen Patrick-Goudreau joins Jasmin and Mariann to discuss her eighth book, A Year of Compassion: 52 Weeks of Living Zero Waste, Plant-Based and Cruelty Free, exploring how compassion can be a guiding force during challenging times and offering practical ways to manifest it in everyday life.
This episode explores:
- How compassion is often misunderstood and how we can reclaim its true meaning in secular contexts
- The psychological barriers that prevent people from aligning their actions with their compassionate values
- Practical ways to make a difference, from rewilding our gardens to support native pollinators to embracing a zero-waste mindset
- The importance of starting where you are rather than doing nothing because you can’t do everything
- How Colleen’s personal journey, including her relationship with her mother, shaped her compassionate worldview
